The ANCYL branch has issued a harshly-worded statement expressing adoration for Zuma and Magashule, and disdain for Mbalula as well as Mbeki.
The statement from the Free State ANCYL – a branch in the province where ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule was once premier – begins by making it clear that if any ANC politician deserves credit for the party’s victory it is, in their view, former president Jacob Zuma.
The Free State ANCYL then uses the statement to voice concerns about the party’s performance in Gauteng, before launching an attack on Mbalula. “He tried in Mangaung conference and was rejected by branches because of his unprincipled and opportunistic postures.”The statement then demonstrates that the Free State ANCYL is clearly loyal not only to Zuma but one of his strongest allies, the former premier of their province, Magashule.
The ANCYL is not a lone voice within the party taking issue with Mbalula giving Ramaphosa credit for their election victory.
